“We’re going to be respectful of our allies, we’re going to be protective of our citizens, and we’re going to ensure that the rights of individuals and communities whatever their color, age, gender, sex, whatever the issue is”, she said.

Trump, whom critics accuse among other things of being fascinated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Wednesday denied having any links to the Kremlin.
And it’s gold. Pure gold.
“This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent”, Clinton’s top advisor Jake Sullivan said.
Trump bounces between denying any involvement and not knowing Putin, to calling on Russian Federation to hack candidate Clinton’s email to find the missing 30,000 emails related to her private email server scandal.
“But you have 33,000 e-mails deleted, and the real problem is what was said in those e-mails from the Democratic National Committee”. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”.
Since everything coming out of a Presidential candidate’s mouth is over-analyzed, and there doesn’t seem to ever be a time when Donald Trump isn’t talking, the media (myself included) never seems to run out of material during this election season. And a lot of them have turned into conservative accounts, like fake conservatives.
“When I see Donald Trump who says that Vladimir Putin and Russian Federation should ultimately create a hacking of emails of a presidential candidate, which is an act of espionage, I consider that an act of treason”, Menendez said at a state Democratic breakfast as part of the party’s national convention. He said one nice thing about me.
And now that Trump (or Ivanka or whoever manages the uh-oh moments on his team) has realized that the comments were unfavorable, he is doing what he always does: backtrack. The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigned over the disclosures.
Trump said in a tweet Tuesday that Democrats were simply trying to “deflect the horror and stupidity of the Wikileakes (sic) disaster”.
Democrats have charged that the exploit was created to hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign and favor Donald Trump’s.
Obama scoffed, retorting that the 1980s are “calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War’s been over for 20 years”.
Putin and Trump, by contrast, have expressed some mutual admiration.
Trumps insistence that his invitation to Russian Federation wasnt serious was backed up by his campaign chairman.

Then there’s Trump’s foolish, imprudent, unwise statement that the United States should be bound to defend North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies against Russian attack only if those allies “have fulfilled their obligations to us”. He claimed that he had seen thousands of people in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks. News4’s Tom Sherwood reports.
